Fishing by itself is a
great experience. Having an extra passion to catch big fishes gives a thrill
like no other. Japanese were pioneer in
fishing and most of the techniques and support equipment used for fishing are
designed and innovated by Japanese through the ages. Traditional rods were made
using bamboo and were effective in catching small fishes. The bigger fishes
needed a different design and technique to catch. Traditionally, Hera Rods were also made of bamboo but
with a design different from the normal ones. This type of rod is used till
date by anglers for catching fishes.
Hera Rods consist only of a single pole without reels and a string attached on
one end. They are made of strong wood which is compressed at high temperatures
to withstand the weight of heavy fishes. These rods came into existence only
when the normal ones proved futile to catch heavy and ferocious fishes. These
rods are very precise and accurate. It is easy to use and the experience while
angling with this rod is fun and is an experience of a lifetime especially when
big, non-cooperative and ferocious fishes hold on to the bait.
